June 5th is the 3rd year for the Ride for Dad in my area. My own father lost his prostate due to the monster known as cancer, so my whole family has a vested interest in this ride. I made it to the first, missed the second due to my own surgery (hernia), but intend to make the third.

It’s a tri-city ride, meaning that the three major cities here have three separate rides that meet in one central location. It’s the last year for that type of set up and it’ll be a shame to see it change.

It’s always good fun and of course this year it falls on a day that I have to work, forcing me to burn yet another vacation day to go on a motorcycle ride…twist my rubber arm…please.
